My Fantasy Awards Booking 2016

Let’s have a brief bit of fun.

Back at the start of January, just before the Oscars revealed their nominations slate for the year, my good Internet friend Kyle Turner went ahead and published his own little fantasy list of what he would have filled the awards categories with had anybody with authority bothered to ask him to contribute his (mostly) correct opinions. It was a nice little read and it led me to wonder why I hadn’t tried anything like that. I mean, yeah, I did some Awards during my endless year-end wrap-up series, but they weren’t exactly ‘professional’.

So, since it might be a fun little timewaster for myself that gets some fresh content up on this site, I’ve chosen to basically rip Kyle off and give you my fantasy awards booking. If you’ve read my 2015 round-up pieces, checked my Twitter, or listened to Screen 1 – Mondays at 2PM on Hullfire Radio or Tuesdays at 6PM on West Hull FM – then you’ll know why these categories look the way they do. I shan’t be giving detailed descriptions as to each category or who’d win, in any case, since this is just a fun little exercise rather than anything meaningful, much like awards ceremonies themselves! Just know that, should any awards body had ever wanted to solicit my opinions on anything, this is how I would have voted this year.

Yes, I know that this is long after any of you stopped giving a shit, but if everybody else – even the sodding BAFTAs, the preview piece of which shall be up Tuesday or Wednesday, sorry for its lateness – is going to include all of the Awards Season movies that don’t make it to British shores until January of the year after the awards are supposed to honour, then, by Jove, I shall too!
